Flavius Claudius Julianus was the last pagan to sit on the Roman imperial throne (361-363). Born in Constantinople in 331 or 332, Julian was raised as a Christian, but apostatized, and during his short reign tried to revive paganism, which, after the conversion to Christianity of his uncle Constantine the Great early in the fourth century, began losing ground at an accelerating pace. Having become an orphan when he was still very young, Julian was taken care of by his cousin Constantius II, one of Constantine's sons, who permitted him to study rhetoric and philosophy and even made him co-emperor in 355. But the relations between Julian and Constantius were strained from the beginning, and it was only Constantius' sudden death in 361 which prevented an impending civil war. As sole emperor, Julian restored the worship of the traditional gods. He opened pagan temples again, reintroduced animal sacrifices, and propagated paganism through both the spoken and the written word. In his treatise Against the Galilaeans he sharply criticised the religion of the followers of Jesus whom he disparagingly called 'Galilaeans'. He put his words into action, and issued laws which were displeasing to Christians--the most notorious being his School Edict. This provoked the anger of the Christians, who reacted fiercely, and accused Julian of being a persecutor like his predecessors Nero, Decius, and Diocletian. Violent conflicts between pagans and Christians made themselves felt all over the empire. It is disputed whether or not Julian himself was behind such outbursts. Accusations against the Apostate continued to be uttered even after the emperor's early death. In this book, the feasibility of such charges is examined.

'Julian the Apostate' is one version, 'Julian the Philosopher' is another: the first is an error with an animus; the second is a truth with a bias. Julian was, in no true sense, an apostate, and he was not first of all a philosopher. He was an admirable specimen of a grand intellectual pagan. Hence the very pertinent sub-title of the book, 'The last struggle of Paganism against Christianity.' In that struggle, Paganism lost because Paganism had shriveled into a mere survival, just as Christianity will lose and shrivel up, dying from inanition, if it is not renewed with fresh forces from modern human tides. This book is one of the 'Heroes of the Nations' series, and not the least notable one. Its author, Miss Alice Gardner, the learned lecturer on ancient history in Newnham College, has made it a strong as well as a charming book. It has hitherto been hardly possible to find or tell the truth about this really heroic character. Christianity (or, rather, its army of managers) has much to answer for, as an obscuring agent in relation to many reputations. We cannot resist a strong feeling of sympathy with Julian. He was an honest pagan who could not bear to see the sweeping away of the old poetry and symbolism by a Christianity that was not always beautiful. Fancy it being left to Frederic Harrison to say whether England should be captured by the Salvation Army! The concluding paragraph of this book seems to us to beautifully adjust the balance in recognizing the blending of Greek culture and Christian ideals Hellenism neither lost nor won; it was merged. 'Julian's cause, ' says Miss Gardner, ' has ultimately triumphed, not by the suppression of Christian institutions, as Julian vainly hoped, still less by the extinction of the Christian spirit as a motive power in the world, but by the permeation of society, speculation and practical life with the most permanent elements of Greek culture. If Juli in was mistaken in thinking that the religious ideas litely coma from Palestine would soon pale before the revived glories of Greece, no less short-sighted were those who thought th it Hellenism was buried in the Emperor's grave. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, the two streams have blended, till it is now hard to conceive what either might have been apart from the other. We cannot feel that the triumphal cry of Julian's enemies, which has seamed ever to echo round his death-bed, 'has been fully justified at the bar of history. It is the Christ, not the Galilean, that has conquered.' Miss Gardner is as nearly unbiased as anyone could be, and we cordially commend her finely written story to our readers. The illustrations are unusually telling. Excellent in themselves as works of art, they are valuable as genuine illustrations, -- illustrations which illustrate, to use her own keen phrase. --The Coming Day, Vol. 5

The tragic life of Julian, the last non-Christian emperor of Rome, by award-winning author Philip Freeman Flavius Claudius Julianus, or Julian the Apostate, ruled Rome as sole emperor for just a year and a half, from 361 to 363, but during that time he turned the world upside down. Although a nephew of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Julian fought to return Rome to the old gods who had led his ancestors to build their vast empire. As emperor, Julian set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies and the corrupting influence of Christianity. Christian writers and historians have seen Julian much differently: as a traitor to God and violent oppressor of Christians. Had Julian not been killed by a random Persian spear, he might well have changed all of history.
